Title
Issue purchase order to Zonatherm Products, Inc., to Furnish and Deliver One (1) New Generac 150kW Emergency Generator to the Kirie Water Reclamation Plant (WRP), under Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) Purchasing Contract No. 092222-GNR, in an amount not to exceed $48,839.09, Account 101-67000-623070, Requisition 1629471
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Zonatherm Products, Inc., to furnish and deliver one (1) new Generac 150kW emergency generator to the Kirie WRP, which will ultimately be used at the Majewski Reservoir. The emergency generator is expected to be delivered before December 31, 2025.
This order consists of the procurement of one (1) new Generac 150kW emergency generator with a two-year warranty and start-up service at the Majewski Reservoir. It will replace a failed existing emergency generator with a 150kW liquid propane-powered generator, which will power critical pumping operations during power outages.
Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) currently has a competitively bid contract with Generac Power Systems, Inc. (092222-GNR), for electrical energy power generation equipment. Zonatherm Products, Inc., is a local distributor for Generac Power Systems, Inc. On May 19, 2011, the Board of Commissioners granted authority to participate in the NJPA purchasing cooperative. The contract was established to enable all state agencies and authorized local governmental units to purchase electrical energy power generation equipment during the contract period. The term of contract 092222-GNR began on December 1, 2022 and expires on November 22, 2026.
Zonatherm Products, Inc. is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Affirmative Action, Revised Appendix D and Appendix V are not applicable to this requisition because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable because the requirement does not fall under the provisions of the MPLA.
The Procurement and Materials Management Department believes that participating in the Sourcewell contract will expedite the ordering and delivery of the emergency generator and reduce administrative costs.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Zonatherm Products, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $48,839.09.
Funds are available in Account 101-67000-623070.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:es
Respectfully Submitted, Marcelino Garcia, Chairman Committee on Procurement
